Chapter 27: The Ghost Face Plate
"The second is a small organization that operates near Yunnan-Burma. They're basically local wizards, but I have a good relationship and have done business a few times. They generally don't take tickets, they all barter. I have several Motan artifacts that I have received from them. The price is relatively reasonable, and it's not much of a problem. I considered that you were there this time, so I let me filter the people who do business a little. ”
Yunnan-Burmese shaman, the bead's social circle is really wide.
"And what about the last one?"
The fat man hurriedly asked the last one.
"This last one is my friend from the past. His name is Wang Zheng, a person from Shanxi, I have known him since I was a teenager. He was a few years older than me, and we had worked together a few times at first, but then we broke up because of this guy's dark-hearted heart. Since then, we haven't worked together much, but we've been doing business a lot. When it comes to business, he's pretty honest and reliable. This kid has deducted a lot of money, but he has a lot of money on hand. If you can get him to pay for it, you might be able to make a big deal. ”
Beads have obviously selected customers, and we don't know if these are his best quality next homes.
After two hours of taking the bus and changing several buses, we arrived at the place. It was a small road, there were no people, and the beads led us to a nearby commissary, and after looking around, we walked into the commissary.
"See for yourself what you want. ”
The cashier at the commissary is an old lady wearing an apron listening to the radio and munching melon seeds. In our opinion, this is an ordinary commissary, what did the beads bring us in for?
As he spoke, Zhuzi stepped forward, took out five yuan and put it in front of the old aunt, and said with a smile: "I made an appointment with someone, in the backyard." ”
The old lady looked back at the beads, and then said, "Oh, turn left when you go in, and don't make a sound, or I won't leave you alone." ”
After saying that, she reached out and took the five yuan into it, looking very skillful, as if it was not the first time to do this job.
After passing through the back door of the commissary and entering the courtyard, I asked curiously, "Brother Zhuzi, what's going on?"
"Generally speaking, we sell more or less contraband in this kind of transaction. Therefore, it cannot be seen, and if you remember that there is a small red flag hanging at the door, it means that they provide a trading space. But the time is very short, and it usually costs five dollars to talk about things in the afternoon. It doesn't matter what you're doing in there, as long as you don't make a fuss about murder and arson, it doesn't matter. ”
The beads are very general, and later we tried it ourselves, and not every house is willing to provide a field, and it also depends on the person and the situation. There are also some doorways in this, and after a few years, we began to talk about business in the teahouse, and if we wanted to see the goods, we went to the funeral home or the underworld, and rarely came to this kind of place again.
After entering the courtyard, I turned left and saw an iron gate that was hidden, and the beads asked us to wait at the door first, and then opened the door and walked in. After a moment, he shouted, "Come in." ”
The three families hadn't arrived yet, and we were smoking cigarettes and waiting. About half an hour later, there was the sound of footsteps outside the iron gate, and three people walked in, led by a strong man with a big beard. When he saw the beads, he smiled and said, "Do you have a business that thinks of me?"
This person should be the black-bearded Guan Xin that Zhuzi said, followed by two people like thugs, and they just nodded when they entered the door, and did not speak.
"Hehe, I dare to inform you if there are good goods, where do I dare to work for you in general goods. ”
Beads said with a smile.
Guan Xin laughed, and his eyes fell on the three of us. Zhu Zi was about to introduce him, but Guan Xin waved his hand, stepped forward and said, "Your name is Ba Xiaoshan, right?"
I was stunned, how could he know me? It seems that the bead didn't say my name in advance.
"You know me?"
I asked, somewhat curiously.
"The Ling family was suffocated in the Great Black Mountain, and there was a young man who had just debuted and saved the life of the Lord of the Three Mountains. Many people in the circle know about this, and on the road, the news spreads quickly. The first time we met, we were fortunate to meet. ”
He shook my hand and looked respectful.
In the 80s, there was no Internet, and the telephone was rarely used, and those who could hold the big brother were rich masters. The information transmission is far less developed than later, but I didn't expect that my Ba Xiaoshan would be famous when he first entered the industry, and I was actually a little complacent in my heart.
After waiting for about half an hour, there was a voice outside, this time it was two people, and the one who entered the door was a bald and thin man. This person can be described as having no flesh on his face and a body as thin as a wicker. He wears a black satin-faced dress and a gold ring on his hand. You can tell by looking at your face that you are not a good person.
"Brother Zheng!"
Zhuzi hurriedly said hello, this person is Wang Zheng mentioned by Zhuzi before, and he really looks like a black-hearted person.
Wang Zheng nodded, but his eyes were aimed at Guan Xin, and he said with a smile: "Oh, isn't this a black beard?
Guan Xin arched his hand and replied, "You don't necessarily buy it." ”
After the two sides sat down, they chatted, and Wang Zheng seemed to deliberately ignore us, as if he looked down on us. Not long after he came in, the Burmese wizard also arrived, but only one person came, wearing a long black cloth coat and a big mask on his face, unable to see his true face, looking very mysterious.
Everyone sat around a table, and the room was lit up.
"It's all here, so I won't hide it. This time, we brought a total of two treasures, both of which were obtained through our own channels. I won't talk about the price first, everyone open your eyes. ”
Beads took out two things from his backpack, both covered with black cloths, and placed them on the table.
"According to the old rules, let's talk first, is it a ticket or a goods?"
The beads presided over the ceremony and looked very serious.
The black bearded man and Wang Zheng both said that it didn't matter, and the Yunnan-Burmese wizard said that he wanted to take the goods.
After the decision was made, the bead lifted the black cloth covering the first thing, revealing a disc about ten centimeters in diameter, with a notch at the edge, and a spiral pattern could be seen above. It was covered with a thick layer of dirt, and the bead took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the surface of the disc, peeling off the dirt, revealing the black lines on the disc. These lines look like some ancient pictures.
I haven't seen this plate, but the fat man has seen it. Because of the coma, the goods left by Gu Yu at that time did not pass through my eyes.
The thing that the beads took out seemed to me to be an antique, and I couldn't see for a moment what it had to do with our business.
"The ghost noodle plate is a good thing as soon as it is shot. ”
Guan Xin opened his mouth and said, obviously knowing the origin of this thing.
"Recognize the goods. ”
Beads smiled and nodded.
"I'll give you a brief introduction. This thing is called a ghost face plate, and of course not all ghost face plates are like this. In ancient times, there were many people who believed in Buddhism, Taoism, and gods. However, there are still some side sects that believe in ghosts and gods, and the offerings used to worship ghosts and gods cannot be filled with plates. This ghost noodle plate is used to hold offerings to demons and gods. The name of the oni is engraved on the bottom of the plate, and the faces of the oni are depicted on the inside of the plate, hence the name oni face plate. Because the ghosts and gods used for worship are different, the appearance of the oni noodles is also different. But because it is a sacrifice to ghosts and gods, many ghost plates have evil spirits, and it is because of this evil spirit that they are very valuable. ”
The beads were introduced in detail, and I silently wrote them down in the back without speaking.
"The market price outside the ghost noodle plate is generally 6,000 to 10,000, but if it is determined to have evil spirit, the price can rise to 20,000. Beads, do you have evil spirits in this ghost-faced coil?"
Wang Zheng on the opposite side suddenly asked.
The bead frowned slightly, looking a little displeased, I didn't see the doorway, so I watched the change.
"Brother Wang, what do you mean?"
Bead asked.
"If you test this ghost noodle plate on the spot to see if it has evil energy, if it has evil energy, I will ask for 20,000 yuan. ”
Wang Zheng lit a cigarette and said with a wicked smile.
"Brother Wang, you're kidding, business isn't like that. ”
The bead's face was pulled down at this moment.
Luo Qiong looked at it from the side, but he didn't see a reason, and asked me: "Brother Shan, what's going on?" Brother Zhuzi seems to be angry. ”
After thinking about it, I understood what was going on, and said in a low voice: "I know, this Wang Zheng is really difficult!"
